Power tools were stolen from a transit van parked in Skelton Close and another van was targeted in Sheffield Road, but nothing was stolen from that vehicle.

Both offences occurred overnight on Thursday into Friday last week.

During the early hours of Friday, sports equipment and speakers were stolen from a car parked in Fox Lane, Birley and in the early hours of last Saturday clothing was stolen from a vehicle parked in Lister Crescent, Basegreen.

Two cars parked in Hopefield Avenue, Birley, last week both had CD players stolen from inside.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Please do not leave any valuables including loose change, clothing, electrical items and tools inside your vehicles.

“Wherever possible leave your glove box open to show there is nothing of value left inside.”
